According to Paraluman S. Aspillera, a writer from the Philippines, the expression and its meaning might have been altered throughout the ages. It might have originally been "Bathala na!" ("As God wills it!"), but was changed at one point in time. It might also be uttered when the Filipino has exhausted all possible ways to get out of a difficult situation. A modern fuller version of the phrase is "Bahala na ang Diyos!" Also, the Tagalog word pamahalaan (government) can be traced from the word Bathala. According to linguistic studies, the word is a result of the full assimilation of the prefix pang- with bathala and the suffix -an. So, the Tagalog term for government actually means "to Lord over" or "to be God's vicar."

it is use in an uncertainty of things
although it can be use in other purposes like:

bahala na kayo. – It’s up to you. or the decision is yours.
akong bahala sa ‘yo. – I’ll take care of you.
walang-bahala. – ignorant,negligent
mabahala-to feel worried
